Nothing Is Not Nothing

#alternativerockmusic #grungerock #bedroomrock You don’t have to turn your tired Into something I can read You don’t have to make your nothing Mean a single thing to me Nothing is not nothing When it gives you back to you You can leave the world unanswered Without becoming cruel Even if you’re doing nothing You don’t owe the world your peace I don’t have to make your nothing Say a single thing to me You don’t have to earn the minutes That you keep back for yourself You don’t have to give a reason For needing nothing else People call it caring When they ask for too much You are not less kind For knowing you’ve had enough Even if you’re doing nothing You don’t owe the world your peace I don’t want to be another Thing you have to answer to I can feel the want inside me Trying hard to get relief But I will not call it loving When it reaches past your peace If I join in with the asking I become the world again So I’ll take back what is mine here And leave yours where it began Even if you’re doing nothing You don’t owe the world your peace I can want you without asking Where your heart is meant to be Rest and don’t worry I won’t add to it too You don’t have to lose yourself So I know what to do If the feeling has to hurt me It can hurt and still be mine There is love that asks for nothing And still means it every time Even if you’re doing nothing You don’t owe the world your peace I can miss you without asking You to fix it when I do I’ll be glad to see you Whenever that may be What belongs to you stays yours What hurts in me stays me
